In the input field, type the command %%Kick <Avatar ID>, where <Avatar ID>is replaced with the user's Avatar ID. For example, if a user's Avatar ID is @carrot, type %%Kick carrot. This kicks the user out of the experience.

Note: Always remember to kick a user using their Avatar ID and not their Avatar Name. For more information on how to differentiate an Avatar ID from an Avatar Name, see Avatar Name and Avatar ID.

Keep in mind that the %%Kick functionality is only available to the experience owner while visiting the experience. Any visiting users that are not the experience owner will not be able to kick a user out of the experience. Additionally, the command cannot be triggered in private chat, or from outside of the experience (such as from the Atlas).

When triggered, the named user is kicked out of the experience, but not necessarily banned from re-entering the experience. This means that the user can still come back to the experience at any time. If an abusive user keeps coming back, we highly recommend adding the user's name to the ban list before kicking them out of the experience. See Banning users from an experience on how to keep users out of your experience.

Note: As the experience owner, you cannot kick yourself or any Linden Lab employee out of an experience.

Listing the users in the experience

To find out who is in your current experience, type %%who in Nearby chat. This lists the Avatar IDs of all the users who are currently in the experience. This is helpful for figuring out which users to kick, ban or grant access to.

Banning users from an experience

To ban a user from an experience, you need to add the user's Avatar ID to the ban list. To add a user to the ban list:

Kicking a user does not automatically ban that user from an experience. Likewise, adding a user to the ban list does not automatically kick them out from the experience either.

Note: Adding users to the ban list can be done at any time as long as you have access to the My Experiences app. You may also remove users from the list at any time.

Restricting access to an experience

As an experience owner, you also have control over who has access to your experience. Using the publishing options panel from the My Experiences app, you can set the experience so that it is accessible to:

Everyone - Anyone can visit the experience, as long as they have not been banned.

You can also choose to publish your experience in the Atlas or keep it hidden. Keep in mind that even if your experience is published in the Atlas, its visibility will dependent upon who you defined under the Who can visit section in the publishing options panel. Only those who have access will see the experience in the Atlas. The same goes for hidden experiences. If special access controls have been set, only those who were given access can enter the experience through the link provided.

Note: Defining who has access can be done at any time as long as you have access to the My Experiences app.
